This proves my paranoia that you should print and rescan redactions. That or do screenshots of the pdf redacted and convert back to a pdf

People forget that “multi touch” and “capacitive touchscreens” were not Apple inventions. They existed prior to the iPhone. The iPhone was just the first “it just works” adaptation of it

For many companies. They’d be better to pay $200/month and layoff 1% of the workforce to pay for it.

I’m finding Gemini and chatGPT web terminal to out perform Claude code. The context becomes too much for the LLM, and tries to make up for it by doing more file read ops.

I’d wager probably not. It’s not like reliability is what will get them marketshare. And the fast pace of industry makes such foundational tech hard to fund

Amazon fresh in the Bay Area was equivalent to Safeway but for better price/quality

Selling it at cost though isn’t. And the cost to make a good is often less than 50% retail

I don’t need a Siri LLM. The current Siri is more than adequate for responding to texts and calling while driving. A lot of the “ai integrations” is marketing material for features nobody will actually use

This is great. Means my scripts in a golang repo can also be written in Golang vs bash/python. It can even import libs from my project. Awesome!

To me it’s a question of it they are on average better. It’s not like human based input is perfect either.

No idea where you live. But I’d hope you’d fight for the safety of your family and neighbors. Thats literally all it means to be in the idf for most.

For smaller datasets (100s of thousands of rows) I don’t see why you wouldn’t just use json columns with generated column/index where needed

Yes, but not with the same shipping speed. Often temu/aliexpress requires you to wait week(s).

Well, also no licensing costs to AMD/intel. So even if at slightly worse performance per chip it’ll end up being cheaper still. AWS doesn’t need to make money on their chips, as they already have the Ec2 margin.

I'm kind of suprised they didn't choose an ec2 instance with higher throughput. S3 can totally eek out 100s of Gibps with the right setup. BUT the author did say this is the simple stupid naive take, in which case DuckDB and Polar

My company is on prem, spending north of 1 billion per year. Cloud is actually cheaper when considering total cost of ownership. Thats salaries, opex, capex costs. Worse, our speed to delivery is generally worse. Because on prem is inelasti

I personally find grok better for certain tasks. It’s better than Gemini for images. Its better than the rest at crude jokes etc

It’s likely more to do with population density. Middle America is a lot less dense. If you look both Florida and Georgia have solar installs and are “red” states

Engineers are cost cutters. Half of engineering is making decisions on how to build within budget. Building within tolerances and not overly engineering things

Aging population means that many democracies will have more old than young voters. Couple that with the American culture of f you I’ve got mine, leads to a prioritization not on the future generations.

I think both found middle ground. In Java you don’t need to define the type of variables within the method. In Python people have learned types in method arguments is a good thing.

How would that solar power a DC at night or on a cloudy day? Energy storage isn’t cheap.

It’s a statement against a state, but the voices behind it are really referring to Jews in general. Their remark about hostages shows it. Why are there hostages in Gaza is due to actions from Hamas, not Israel. More importantly ask yourself

Agreed. He was respectful of differing opinion, and encouraged diversity of thought. All Americans, from the left and right, should view this as a Fundimental aspect of a healthy democracy. We don't always need to agree, but if we cann
